The Future of Consumerist

Over the last twelve years, Consumerist has been a steadfast proponent and voice on behalf of consumers, from exposing shady practices by secretive cable companies to pushing for action against dodgy payday lenders. Now, we’re joining forces with Consumer Reports, our parent organization, to cultivate the next generation of consumer advocacy.

Stay tuned as Consumerist’s current and future content finds its home as a part of the Consumer Reports brand. In the meantime, you can access existing Consumerist content below, and we encourage you to visit Consumer Reports to read the latest consumer news.

With reigning Worst Company In America runner-up Bank of America preparing to roll out monthly fees for some customers who use their debit cards to make purchases, a number of people are thinking it’s prime time to end their relationship with BofA — and that’s a perfect moment to capture on video.

Over at DefendYourDollars, our Consumers Union pals have put together this reel of customers telling Bank of America “It’s not me; it’s you,” and they would love to add your video to the mix.

So if you want to tell Bank of America that it’s just not working out, upload your video to YouTube and be sure to use the phrase “Drop the fee or we drop you” and email the link to charer@consumer.org
